This actually happened more so from the late 1980's to the early 1990's, but that choice was unavailable....



One of my fondest childhood memories has to be the many weekend arcade trips with my two cousins, Dave (TheMemoryCrawler) and Dan (dan10878) at a place called; Area Code 313! My Father and their Father, my uncle Mike (golfnmike1959), would most times sit and drink coffee while we spent hours playing games until our fingers hurt...or we ran out of tokens. More times than not it was due to running dry on tokens.



I can recall a few arcade games being my favorites above the rest. First being the original WWF Royal Rumble game. Having the option of four people playing in the same game all at once and being that I was an avid wrestling fan, it was an easy choice. Gauntlet II, Frogger, Pac-Man (of course), Rampage and Golden Axe were some of the easy choices for me! I also remember spending countless amounts of time and my Father's money playing the first Street Fighter game. That came a bit later, but was nonetheless a big arcade memory for me.



I remember all three of us playing that stupid bowling game for tickets to win "prizes"! One pack of garbage pail kids cards or some cheap ass package of candy would end up costing 5 bucks or more! LMAO! But the memories are priceless....to me anyway!



I hope this will suffice as my first memory posting!



I would like the aforementioned family members to opine on this story!



Sadly my Father cannot, because he is no longer with us, but I have to believe that one day I will be able to see him again and sit down and share memories of times spent together....I miss him everyday!
